A Queen Elizabeth Never Seen Before

Posted on by

You will discover a Queen Elizabeth I of England never seen before: determined and modern, a woman who articulates and defends her choices—especially her decision not to marry and not to have children. In a deeply patriarchal society, Elizabeth embodies the self-awareness of a woman of today. The queen who gave her name to an era ascends the throne and holds power for forty-four years with refined cunning and intelligence.

What most strongly emerges from the figure of this singular queen is a legacy capable of transcending her own time, marking a definitive turning point in royal succession and, at the same time, establishing a model of power that would never have an equal. Yet, more than highlighting the features of the historical figure, what appears most compelling is to understand the effects that this model continues to exert on our own era today.

A story that examines the subtle boundary between the public body and the private body in the life of the most exemplary of European rulers: Elizabeth I Tudor, Queen of England.
A play that turns into a noir comedy—both “historical” and “pop”—witty and sharp-edged, with a powerful visual impact.
Contributing to this are Monica Capuani’s translation, Carlo Sala’s set design, and the sumptuous costumes by Ferdinando Bruni.
